A motor rotary steerable system having a sun gear shaft, a pair of planetary gears rotated by the sun gear shaft, an adjustable slip clutch assembly rotated by the planetary gears in an opposite direction, and an orienting device connected to the planetary gears and adjustable slip clutch assembly. The orienting device comprises a bent sub with a bent sub housing, a bearing section, a bit drive assembly, a pulse counter to count the rotating drive shaft rotations, a drilling bit locator, and a transmitting device conveying signals from the orienting device to a receiver in an opposite side of a power section. The orienting device rotates independently from a drill string and is synchronously timed to the rotation of the drill string to rotate continuously while producing both straight and curved bore path segments and increase production rates.

An apparatus for detecting over-torquing or un-torquing of a threaded connection between components in a borehole penetrating the earth includes: a string of components coupled in series by a threaded connection; a transmission line attached to each component; a signal coupler in communication with the transmission line and disposed on each component at each threaded connection, the signal coupler being configured to transmit the signal to an adjacent signal coupler on an adjacent coupled component in order to transmit a signal along the transmission line attached to the adjacent coupled component; a receiver configured to receive the signal; and a processor in communication with the receiver and configured to: (i) determine a difference between a characteristic of the signal and the characteristic of a reference signal and (ii) transmit an alert signal signifying that the threaded connection is over-torquing or un-torquing in response to the difference exceeding a threshold value.

A milling-drilling section billet and anchoring device that is an improvement over current technology. The invention provides a device that incorporates an aluminum milling-drilling section billet and an anchoring device. The assembly is segregated into three main functional components: a setting tool connector system, an aluminum billet, and an anchoring section. The anchoring section has two slips, offset laterally and positioned 180 degrees apart on the device. When deployed, the slips lock the device in the formation and produce an offset of the billet within the formation. This angular positioning allows a milling head to be moved in a new direction from the existing well formation. Once the device is properly positioned in the wellbore, a frangible member breaks to allow removal of the setting tool prior to the renewed drilling operation.

Provided is a self-deflecting multilateral junction, a method, and a well system. The self-deflecting multilateral junction, in one aspect, includes a deflection device having an uphole end and a downhole end, the deflection device including a main tubular, a first flow path off the main tubular and operable to couple to a wellbore, a second flow path off the main tubular and operable to couple to a lateral wellbore, the second flow path having a lateral seal bore, and a deflecting ramp. The self-deflecting multilateral junction, according to this aspect, further includes a lateral stinger positioned within the main tubular and releasably coupled to the deflection device, the lateral stinger including a nose end configured to extend into the second flow path, a valve member, and a lateral seal for engaging the lateral seal bore.

The present invention provides a rotary guiding tool, comprising: a power unit having an output shaft capable of outputting a torque and an offset driving portion capable of outputting a radial force and/or an axial force; a transmission shaft connected with the output shaft; a support shaft connected with the transmission shaft through a rotation structure, wherein a rotation axis of the rotation structure is perpendicular to an axis of the output shaft, the support shaft has an inner wall defining an accommodating cavity and a forward end and a rearward end formed at both ends of the accommodating cavity, a rotation center of the rotation structure is located in the accommodating cavity, and the rearward end of the support shaft is capable of being driven by the radial force output by the offset driving portion; and a drill bit having a drill bit tail end, wherein the drill bit and the forward end of the support shaft are connected to the drill bit tail end. According to the present invention, the rotary guiding tool may improve the whipstocking ability of the drilling tool, and reduce the energy consumption of driving the drilling tool.

A bottom hole assembly for use in a subterranean well can include a whipstock, a mill releasably secured to the whipstock, an antenna, and a release mechanism configured to release the mill from the whipstock in response to a predetermined radio frequency signal received by the antenna. A method can include positioning a bottom hole assembly in a well, the bottom hole assembly including a mill and a whipstock releasably secured to the mill, and then releasing the mill from the whipstock by displacing a radio frequency identification tag into the bottom hole assembly. A well system can include a bottom hole assembly comprising an anchor, a whipstock and a mill, and a radio frequency identification tag displaceable with fluid flow into the bottom hole assembly.

The invention relates to a wellbore-lining tubing comprising at least one window pre-formed in the wall of the tubing and a device for selectively generating a fluid pressure pulse, and to a method of forming a lateral wellbore employing such a tubing. In an embodiment, a wellbore-lining tubing (130m) is disclosed which comprises: a tubing wall (32m), an internal fluid flow passage (30m), and at least one window (154m) pre-formed in the wall of the tubing; a device (34m) for selectively generating a fluid pressure pulse, the device located at least partly in a space (36m) provided in the wall of the tubing; and a coupling (190) for receiving a deflection tool (192) so that the deflection tool can be secured to the tubing and employed to divert a downhole component (202) through the window in the tubing wall.

A technique facilitates selectively disengaging a running string from a lateral tube assembly. The running string comprises a running sub which is engageable with the lateral tube assembly. The running string further comprises a window finder which is positioned to extend into a main bore casing window when the running string is deployed downhole with the lateral tube assembly. Additionally, the running string comprises an extension sub which is coupled to the window finder. The extension sub is selectively extensible to disengage the window finder from the main bore casing prior to release of the running sub from the lateral tube assembly via a release force applied through the running string.

A drilling hole correction tool having an internal push rod; an external guide cylinder, a shear pin: an internal locking pin; and a foot. A method for correcting drill hole comprises: raising the rods to 3.0 m above the bottom; removing inner tube from drill string: deploying adhesive into the bottom below drill bit; lowering hole correction tool down drill string until landing ring readies landing shoulder and the latches are deployed: setting the desired orientation; lowering the drill string to press the external guide cylinder into the adhesive until the external guide cylinder reaches the bottom of the hole, shearing the shear pin; further lowering the drill string 6 to 8 inches until the drill string is loaded: clamping external guide cylinder in place; allowing adhesive to cure; retrieving back end and internal guide rod from drill hole; and lowering original standard inner tube down drill string.

A hole support tube for use in an industrial drilling operation has an elongated body sized, shaped, and adapted to fit within a geological hole. The body has a wall extending from a first end of the body to a second end of the body, the wall having an outer surface and an inner surface with the inner surface defining a hollow interior of the body. The wall is made of a biodegradable material, such as cardboard. In one version, the hole support tube is an electronic hole support tube having a fiber optic cable spirally wound around or within the wall.
